Ludicolo_kid from sppf created that set a while back.
JJibbles and bits, you've got two badges, you can make a new thread without getting in trouble xDTyranitar @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 58 Atk / 200 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Standard CB moveset
This is the spread I use in ubers. With Careful and those EVs, Tyranitar can survive a CHOICE SPECS AURA SPHERE from a Timid Mewtwo. It loses a lot of attack power, but...
1) TTar is naturally slow. Putting it in max speed won't help it against anything besides no speed base 90 ubers and Metagross. Without speed EVs it outspeeds Blissey, and that's really all TTar needs to outspeed in ubers Scarfless. Also allows it to work decently in Trick Room
2) It OHKOs/2HKOs everything it needs with just those Atk EVs. The only exceptions are some forms of Arceus and Tangrowth
3) These EVs also let it absorb Calm Minded Grass Knot from Modest Latios with relative ease
4) Blissey's Thunder is 10HKO on this lol
I'm playing safe here. If MoP (Aeroblacktyl, whatever) got banned, I'm nowhere near safe.JJibbles and bits, you've got two badges, you can make a new thread without getting in trouble xD
Yeah, the set is pretty good, are you sure that he can't withstand a blissey thunder? what are the blisseys IVS? and what self respecting blissey would switch into a Ttar. also youve got a SS blowing, so I think thunders accuracy is reduced.
sorry, didn't relies it was 10 KO. Yeah, T-tar might make a decent special wall in ubers, fucking over kyogres thuder, but can he take exseccive aura shperes from mewtwo, or only one? and in the original post were it says "standard CBtar" I think since it has a -spd nature, pursuit wouldn't work (unless under Trickroom.I'm playing safe here. If MoP (Aeroblacktyl, whatever) got banned, I'm nowhere near safe.
To be more clear
"Ten Hit KO"
And how is it going to recover? Well, Then you might aswell make a Uber ss team.sorry, didn't relies it was 10 KO. Yeah, T-tar might make a decent special wall in ubers, fucking over kyogres thuder, but can he take exseccive aura shperes from mewtwo, or only one?
You bring up WoW several times, which is of course important, but that begs the question...
Why not the obvious? Slap Substitute on the set, and make it a dedicated Sub-Puncher. Substitute blocks WoW, Focus Punch gains a massive 30% bonus from Iron Fist and the classic Sub/Punch combo works like a charm. Slapping 30% more damage on a 150 BP attack (225 with Stab) and Agility to out-run everyone so you can put down Subs when you need too seems like a good idea.
It also blocks hypnosis from Bronzong.
As you stated before, rock and fighting has no resist. So you get complete coverage with Stone Edge, although I'd personally go with one of the other punching attacks due to Stone Edge's accuracy screwing me over far too often.
And also Nidoking/queen, Medicham and Gallade. Might be one or two more I'm forgetting.Actually, Claydol resists all the common "sweeper" moves: Stone Edge, Earthquake, and Close Combat. So, unless Claydol shows up, yes, rock and fight have no resists.
Oh yeah, Tcroak resists rock and fight too :D
Anyone who tries to switch a Ground type into Empoleon is unlikely to be winning many battles. I use Empoleon a lot, and from my experience I find the most common switch-ins to be Vaporeon, Blissey and Cresselia. All three are annoying as hell for Empoleon but do nothing much back, although it's fun sometimes to spam Roar on Vappy to prevent Wish going to the intended target. I've also seen the occasional Magnezone switch in strangely enough, which I laugh at as Thunderbolt never OHKOs but always leaves me in Torrent range, plus I invest enough in speed to outrun the standard spread.I like Substitute Empoleon as a wall! I invented it! I feel cool.
Empoloen (♂) @ Leftovers **Blue Orchid
Ability: Torrent

Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Substitute
- Roar/Yawn/Grass Knot
- Hydro Pump

Everyone switches on Empoleon to a Grounder, so why not bolck the hit and kill them? Hydro Pump for STAB, Ice Beam for Grounders that are more weak to it as well as for mediocre type coverage. Either Phaze or another offensive move for spot 4. I run Grass Knot since I like my walls to kill stuff. Flash Cannon's kinda lame though.
^Thunder also becomes 50% accuracy under Sandstorm, which is WAY too common in OU.
Two things wrong with this set. Firstly, Manaphy is Uber so it really needs to abuse its Hydration ability in tandem with Kyogre in order to compete at that level. Secondly, that's not how Brine works. It only doubles in power when the opponent is at lower than half health, not yourself. This is just a standard SubPetaya set with a weak STAB move that would get laughed at in Ubers, where most things are faster than Manaphy.Manaphy NEEDS a SubBrine set.
name: SubBrine
move 1: Substitute
move 2: Brine
move 3: Grass Knot / Tail Glow
move 4: Ice Beam / Tail Glow
item: Petaya Berry
ability: Hydration
nature(s): Timid / Modest
evs: ordered in 12 hp/246 Spc.Attack/ 252 Speed
Substitute down to 1/4 (HP Divisible by 4) and the Petaya berry will kick in, hitting things hard with a doubled-in-power Brine (which has 130 base power). Grass Knot hits Gyarados for 120 BP, and Ice Beam is an option for Dragons. Tail Glow is in there if you want to hurt even more, but because Manaphy doesn't have BoltBeam, more offensive moves are recommended.
Damnit, I thought I screwed up somewhere.No it doesn't. Thunder's accuracy is only lowered to 50% in the sun; sandstorm does not lower Thunder's accuracy. It's hard for me to accept that people still make that mistake.
